What can I say? It's pretty darn impressive. After jetting back to Beijing from Guilin we spent the evening with Carl and his family. The next day Carl drove us up to the Wall. Even in this ancient place, Subway had managed to open up a sandwich shop at the base which at first I found a little disappointing but then realized it was probably perfect for you to grab a little picnic lunch to take up to the Wall for the hike.
We elected for the gondola ride up the mountain vs. the 1 hour hike. It was cold and much easier. The Wall stretched for as far as the eye could see and we hiked along it for about 1 hour. On the return trip down, we took a 'tobaggon' ride down this metal slide. It was kitchy but absolutely a blast to essentially slide on our backsides down the mountain. There is a video of the ride at the bottom of the page.
